10. However, because of figurative
language, specifically similes and
metaphors, we can associate two
unlike objects to sound more
creative and meaningful, and to
add an effect.
11. Similes and metaphors do the same thing:
they compare two unlike objects.
They only differ in terms of how they compare.
Similes use as or like. Metaphors do not.
12. 1) My love for you is as strong as a
rock. SIMILE
2) My love for you is a strong rock.
It can never break. METAPHOR
13. 3) You are like the sun; you
brighten up my day! SIMILE
4) You are the sun that brightens
up my day. METAPHOR
15. An emerald is as green as grass
A ruby red as blood
A sapphire shines as blue as
heaven
A flint lies in the mud
A diamond is a brilliant stone
To catch the worldâs desire
An opal holds a fiery spark
But a flint holds fire

16. I am one of many
Small branches of a broken tree,
Always looking to the ones above
For guidance, strength and security.
One little branch trying
To keep the others from breaking away.
Who will fall?
And who will stay?
Now I stand alone,
Looking at the earth through the rain,
And I see the broken branches I knew
Scattered about me in pain.
